Peacock?

My 82-year-old father just texted me to ask what channel the Phils are on tonight. When I told him Peacock, his response was pretty much what I expected. "What?"

For some reason, the powers that be have decided it would be a swell idea to televise this weekend's Phils-Giants series on the streaming service, rather than NBCSports Philadelphia, which pretty much every Phillies fan has access to on their cable subscription.

Baseball is losing fans. So why make it harder to watch the games? MLB should be making it as easy as possible to watch the games. The more eyeballs, the more advertisers sign on. And that means more money. 

But baseball is after the "kids." And the kids apparently love not having cable and streaming content. But this is Fathers Day weekend. And all I want to do is be left alone and watch my damn Phillies. Yes, I have Apple TV and Peacock is available. So I'll be able to do it without much of a hassle. But what about all the other dads? 

Use your brains, NBC Sports, MLB, and Phillies big shots. Make the games easier to watch, not harder.
